Меня зовут Шейлок Говард Джейкобсон
ISBN: 978-5-699-98877-8 Год издания: 2017 Издательство: Эксмо Язык: Русский Где можно встретить шекспировского героя, чтобы поговорить с ним и пригласить к себе домой? Герой романа Саймон Струлович встречает Шейлока из "Венецианского купца" на кладбище. У двух персонажей много общего: оба богаты, у обоих умерли жены, а дочери выказывают излишнюю независимость. Это только начало сложной дружбы. Обладатель Букеровской премии Говард Джейкобсон издевательски передает букву и дух Шекспира — с иронией и остроумием.

Whatever It Is, I Don't Like It Howard Jacobson
ISBN: 978-1-4088-2242-5 Год издания: 2012 Издательство: Bloomsbury Язык: Английский Howard Jacobson brims with life in this collection of his most acclaimed journalism. From the unusual disposal of his father-in-law's ashes and the cultural wasteland of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to the melancholy sensuality of Leonard Cohen and the desolation of Wagner's tragedies, Jacobson writes with all the thunder and joy of a man possessed. Absurdity piles upon absurdity, and glorious sentences weave together to create a hilarious, heartbreaking and uniquely human collection.

Pussy Howard Jacobson
ISBN: 9781787330207 Год издания: 2017 Издательство: Jonathan Cape London Язык: Английский Pussy is the story of Prince Fracassus, heir presumptive to the Duchy of Origen, famed for its golden-gated skyscrapers and casinos, who passes his boyhood watching reality shows on TV, imagining himself to be the Roman Emperor Nero, and fantasizing about hookers. He is idle, boastful, thin-skinned and egotistic; has no manners, no curiosity, no knowledge, no idea and no words in which to express them. Could he, in that case, be the very leader to make the country great again? -

The Making of Henry Говард Джейкобсон
ISBN: 140007861X Год издания: 2004 Издательство: Anchor Язык: Английский Man Booker Prize–Winning Author of THE FINKLER QUESTION
Swathed in his kimono, drinking tea from his samovar, Henry Nagle is temperamentally opposed to life in the 21st century. Preferring not to contemplate the great intellectual and worldly success of his best boyhood friend, he argues constantly with his father, an upholsterer turned fire-eater–and now dead for many years. When he goes out at all, Henry goes after other men’s wives.
But when he mysteriously inherits a sumptuous apartment, Henry’s life changes, bringing on a slick descendant of Robert Louis Stevenson, an excitable red setter, and a wise-cracking waitress with a taste for danger. All of them demand his attention, even his love, a word which barely exists in Henry’s magisterial vocabulary, never mind his heart.
From one of England’s most highly regarded writers, The Making of Henry is a ravishing novel, at once wise, tender and mordantly funny. -
Coming From Behind Говард Джейкобсон
ISBN: 9780099452034 Год издания: 2003 Издательство: Vintage Books 'A very funny, bitterly intelligent novel...do read it' Malcolm Bradbury Sefton Goldberg: mid-thirties, English teacher at Wrottesley Poly in the West Midlands; small, sweaty, lustful, defiantly unappreciative of beer, nature and organised games; gnawingly aware of being an urban Jew islanded in a sea of country-loving Anglo-Saxons. Obsessed by failure - morbidly, in his own case, gloatingly, in that of his contemporaries - so much so that he plans to write a bestseller on the subject. In the meantime he is uncomfortably aware of advancing years and atrophying achievement, and no amount of lofty rationalisation can disguise the triumph of…
